...Broadway legend
Elaine Stritch!
The Tony winner turns 83 today. She's still going strong, winning her second Emmy last fall for her role as
Alec Baldwin's mother on "30 Rock." If you haven't seen
Elaine Stritch sing "Ladies Who Lunch," you are missing out on greatness. She sings in on the DVD or CD of her great one-woman show "Elaine Stritch at Liberty" the mixes songs with deeply personal stories. To see her sing the song at the height of her powers, get ahold of the original Broadway soundtrack of "Company."
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
Comments
I haven't been moved to comment before (though I've followed your blog for a while), but here I felt I had to, because I adore Elaine. She's got such a larger-than-life personality. And though I realize it's not the most popular opinion, I really like her voice, and seeing you recommend Ladies Who Lunch and the Company OBC made my day.
